Picks of the week

Running Round The Sun (album) – Jamie Webster

Running Round The Sun is the fourth studio album from Jamie Webster, and while it remains quintessentially Jamie, there is a lighter feel to many of the tracks.

This is Webster with a new lease of life. He still tackles society’s serious problems, but a more positive outlook on life comes across with the brighter guitar tones and generally lighter lyrics.

Torn Between Ties (EP) – East Exchange

The first EP of East Exchange’s new era, Torn Between Ties is already a hit with fans of grunge and alternative rock.

Frontman Sonny Kenyon’s vocals exude the pain portrayed by the songs. The band really are excellent and among the fastest-growing in Liverpool.

World In A Picture (EP) – The Sway

The Sway are back with their upbeat, Liverpudlian groove. The World In A Picture is just made for summer strolls that will have your head nodding in time.

Thanks to a range of songwriting inputs from the band, The Sway manage to stay fresh while sticking to their genre of melodic, instrumental Merseybeat.
